Description: FIRST EDITION THE ABEL BERLAND COPY. 1 vol., (ii)89pp.(iv), complete with the original blanks, half-title, and publisher's ads, bound in the original drab paper wrappers, uncut as issued, small bookplate of Abel Berland to upper corner of inside front wrapper, housed in a brown cloth chemise slipcase, gilt lettered spine. internally clean and bright, chipping to head and foot of spine with minor loss, A VERY GOOD COPY. Murray initially offered Byron 1,000 guineas for these two poems, but the poet - convinced that a gentleman should not accept money for his poetry - initially refused Murray's offer and his request to issue them in a separate volume. However, within a few days Byron decided instead to accept Murray's offer and give the money to William Godwin. Apparently Murray did not approve of this plan, and Byron threatened to take back the manuscripts altogether, writing to his publisher "it could be in no respect different to you - whether I paid it to a w[hore] or a hospital-or assisted a man of talent in distress" (Marchand, Byron's Letters and Journals (1976), vol. 5, p.17). Luckily, the pair eventually settled their disagreement and the volume was published on 7 February.

Description: 8vo., First Edition, EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with engraved frontispiece and 18 engraved plates; most attractively bound in full red calf, sides with gilt frame border, expertly rebacked to style with old backstrip gilt laid down, gilt top, gilt dentelles, marbled endpapers, uncut, a remarkably well-preserved, fresh, crisp copy. With the publisher's 4pp catalogue (dated February 1816) at end. THIS COPY WAS BOUND BY ZAEHNSDORF IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY FOR CHICAGO PUBLISHER AND WHOLESALER A.C. McCLURG; the binding is signed on front free endpaper verso. It was possibly compiled on behalf of a dedicated collector, for the plates and portraits are numerous and relevant. The frontispiece ('Leila', engraved by Mote after Corbaux) and 11 plates relate to the first work; the remaining 7 plates to the second. Of particular interest are the fine portraits of John Hobhouse (to whom the work is dedicated) by Hopwood after Wivell, and John Sobieski (engraved by Thomson from a picture in the Louvre). A MOST UNUSUAL, AND EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE COPY IN sympathetically restored period binding. Randolph, p. 55; Wise I, p.106.
